This sucker is solar-powered, among other things.

I'm guessing that nobody payed attention to it and left "things" out in the open when it passed overhead. Usually people will hide "things" at certain times of day/night when they know that our satellites are overhead.

I wonder if anyone noticed it 218mi up there.

I'm sure people observed it, but by then it's too late if it's in spy-mode. It probably does what the SR-71 did, only from low orbit.

That the flight(s) were solar-powered is what gives me a glimmer of hope for the basic technology.
